“... surveys mistake people with diverse political opinions for people with moderate political opinions.”

Uh huh.

There are NO such thing as moderate’s AND there are NO such thing as ‘independent’s’.

With all the rabidly toxic rhetoric going on and with two consecutive national elections demonstrating the extreme polarity of the US voters, HOW on earth can anyone maintain that ‘independents’ OR moderates exist?

I consider myself a moderate on the issue of capital punishment. I think every condemned murderer, now matter how heinous their crimes, should be entitled to the dignity of a public ceremony, at least two hymns being sung, a last request, a final statement, the dignity of a breathable bag or hood placed over their heads, and a drop sufficient to snap their necks.

I think making them dance the Tyburn Jig is barbaric and backward.

It’s that old Bill Maher-type trick of continually claiming independence/libertarianism (or whatever) and then always marching in lockstep with the leftists. I guess the idea is that the sheep with say, “See, there’s ANOTHER independent who’s sided with the left on this one issue.” Except they do it for EVERY issue and no one seems to notice that they NEVER “independently” sway the other direction.
